OTC Sleep Aides: I would caution you against using any branded otc sleep aid like tylenol (acetaminophen) or advil pm. Tylenol (acetaminophen) or advil are not in any way needed or effective in helping you sleep. The pm part of these common medications is just the generic form of benadryl. It is Benadryl that causes sedation. Other people often also use melatonin, an herbal product that helps millions of people who need this occasionally.
